| 1 | To the Chief Musician. To the tune of 'Death of the Son.' A Psalm of David. I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. | |
| 2 | I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. | |
| 3 | When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence. | |
| 4 | For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness. | |
| 5 | You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever. | |
| 6 | O enemy, destructions are finished forever! And you have destroyed cities; Even their memory has perished. | |
| 7 | But the LORD shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment. | |
| 8 | He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness. | |
| 9 | The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble. | |
| 10 | And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. | |
| 11 | Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people. | |
| 12 | When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble. | |
| 13 | Have mercy on me, O LORD! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death, | |
| 14 | That I may tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation. | |
| 15 | The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught. | |
| 16 | The LORD is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah | |
| 17 | The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God. | |
| 18 | For the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever. | |
| 19 | Arise, O LORD, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight. | |
| 20 | Put them in fear, O LORD, That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah | |
